I didn't expect to be talking about HNDR fangames so soon; but another amazing creation has hit ao3. And we have hit the motherload:

Romance Route DLC by jihnari, for html-tryhards

The power of the visual novel compels you... to make a dating sim spin-off.



This is all html. I don't know how they made this on ao3. I've seen skins created to mimic twitter, discord, iphone messages, emails... Nothing like this. I'm stumped. How did they do this. I'm so scared. I thought at first it was a Renpy iframe embed but no... no.... this is true power. For yaoi.

Non-spoiler standouts:

IT'S FUNNY..!! Everyone's reactions (espcially Takumis) to the unfolding events fits right into the Romance route. Every character that appears has a strong voice, and very strong emotions. :).

Kyoshika...! She is the best chaos agent!!

They captured Takumi's oblivious teenage boy cruelty. I was cackling at some of his lines! Takumi!! You're your own worst enemy!!

Below the cuts are my thoughts, but please play it yourself! It's about an hour in total, and it has skip features to get right back into the branching paths. How did they make this. I'm scared.

_{I do recommend turning off any custom ao3 skins you have on for this, and play on tablet or desktop.}


( Yugamu Route // Spoilers! )


( Eito Route // Spoilers )

I was recently watching a video on Persona 5 mods... can we get that. Can we get the lads who know how to code in on this. Can we please put the 3D HNDR models in maid outfits.

Play it here yourself, and don't forget... honesty is the best policy :3

I know I have a fic rec page already, but there's more I want to say... SEE I want to recommend EVERYTHING that's my problem!! I miss fic recs and fic discussions, or even just keeping a space for them outside of ao3. So many get lost with the sheer amount of skill that gets uploaded onto ao3 everyday. I love reccing people so I thought this could come in handy for more casual recs... I might do this monthly?? We'll see how it goes!

WORD OF WARNING i am a bottom!takumi truther so most of these will probably feature that LOL
